Poems by Jonna

I see you from a distance

when night turns into day.

I thought you saw me too

but you went the other way.

I start to run towards you,

but my feet caught in the clay.

Down and down it pulls me

as I watch you walk away.

I start to cry out for you

but no sound comes from my jaw.

The shade of you turns blurry

as my final breath I draw.
